Chapter 53
Mori Ogai brought Natsume Soseki into the inner room. He didn't know what the two were going to say, but Akabane Higen could guess it, so he just looked away in boredom, and then his eyes fell on Akutagawa Ryunosuke who was guarding the door.
Noticing the boy's gaze, Akutagawa Ryunosuke glared at him fiercely, and frowned after seeing the boy's harmless smile.
Ha, weakling.
Akabane Higen took a step to the side, moved to the side of Nakahara Chuuya, and then poked his head out from behind him to look at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, his eyes sparkling: It's a lop-eared rabbit! !
Wow, so cute!
Nakahara Chuuya thought that Akutagawa Ryunosuke scared him, so he turned his body to block Akutagawa Ryunosuke's unfriendly gaze. He was about to say a few words of comfort, when he heard the boy whispered in his ear: "Brother Chuuya, who is he?"
Nakahara Chuuya was stunned for a moment, then replied: "He is Akutagawa, Akutagawa Ryunosuke."
Then he looked at Ozaki Kouye who was wearing a kimono: "This is Sister Kouye, Ozaki Kouye."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke snorted coldly and didn't look at him again, but looked outside. Ozaki Kouha smiled at him kindly: "Oh, you are the younger brother of Shibuya, so cute."
Akabane Higen also responded with a brilliant smile: "Sister Kouha is also very beautiful!"
Ozaki Kouha covered her mouth and laughed: "You are so sweet, little Akabane."
Hearing her call, Akabane Higen just blinked, and then continued to smile happily.
Nakahara Chuuya saw this and made an empty seat for him, leaving the two to talk.
Not long after, Natsume Soseki and Mori Ogai also walked out. Mori Ogai bowed to Natsume Soseki, and then asked Akutagawa Ryunosuke to send him out.
He turned back to look at Akabane Higen, with a smile on his face again: "Where are you going next, Akabane-kun?"
Akabane Higen tilted his head: "Can't I stay here?"
He reached out and grabbed Nakahara Chuuya's clothes and said: "I just want Brother Chuuya to cook for me, and I can stay in the place where Brother stayed before and won't run around."
Nakahara Chuuya looked at him in surprise, but Akabane Higen didn't look at Nakahara Chuuya, but looked at Mori Ogai, with a look of expectation on his face.
"Is that so..."
Mori Ogai seemed to be considering his words, and seemed to be distracted by thinking of something else, and the office fell into silence for a while.
After a long while, when Akabane Higen was about to lose his patience, Mori Ogai seemed to suddenly come to his senses. He smiled at him apologetically and said, "Sorry, Akabane-kun, I just suddenly thought of something else." "
I'm also glad that Akabane-kun is willing to stay here. As for Chuuya..."
His eyes fell on Nakahara Chuuya who was standing aside. Nakahara Chuuya nodded to Mori Ogai, "I will take good care of him."
"In that case, then welcome Akabane-kun to our Hong Kong. Hei."
Nakahara Chuuya brought Akabane Higen to the office where Hirai Wataru had stayed before. The place was well preserved, as if it was specially reserved for Hirai Wataru. Mori Ogai seemed to think that Hirai Wataru would definitely come back again, so he did not arrange for anyone else to use this office.
The office is spacious and bright. The warm light shines on the orange sofa, making the room even warmer.
On the right side of the room, there is a large beige bookcase filled with all kinds of books. Next to the bookcase is a small bedroom.
Nakahara Chuuya sent the man to the door and did not go in again. He glanced at the furnishings in the room with a dim look, and then said to the boy: "I won't go in. You can go in and take a look yourself. If you have anything, just call me directly."
Akabane Higen nodded to him, and then walked into the room where he had stayed for several years when he was still Hirai Shigeru.
The furnishings in the room were the same as before.
After noticing that Nakahara Chuuya had closed the door, Akabane Higen slowly walked to the large beige bookcase and quickly scanned the books in the bookcase row by row.
He moved very quickly, as if he was just scanning briefly, or as if he was looking for something. Finally, the boy's eyes were fixed on a book wrapped in a dark red shell.
Akabane Higen reached out and pulled out the book, then walked to the table and sat down, spread the book out and placed it on the table.
This is a book on finance, the kind of professional book that would give others a headache after just one look and would choose to ignore it.
Akabane Higen looked at the obscure and difficult to understand words displayed on the pages of the book, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He took out a small and exquisite lighter from somewhere and pressed it casually.
"Are you sure you don't want to come out by yourself?"
The boy's clean and clear voice fell, leaving only a faint aftertaste in the empty room, without any movement.
Very good.
Akabane Higen raised an eyebrow, moved the lighter close to the pages of the book, and then pressed the lighter.
"Swish!"
Unexpectedly, the pages of the book were not ignited, as if what was lit under the pages of the book was not a ball of flame but air.
Akabane Higen was not surprised, he just continued to press a few more times indifferently, and sighed with some regret: "It seems that this kind of fire doesn't work..."
"In that case..."
What?
It nervously felt Akabane Higen's movements, not daring to move at all, for fear of being caught by the boy.
Although it didn't know why it couldn't tell who the boy was, and it didn't know how the boy knew it was here, it didn't know what the boy would do to it if it caught him, so while it didn't know everything, it stayed quietly, not daring to make a sound.
Akabane Higen smiled with his eyes crooked, and his other free hand slightly spread out. With a flick of his index finger, a cluster of golden flames appeared at the tip of his index finger as he pressed the lighter.
It was a cluster of golden flames, and the core of the flame was light white. The flames seemed to have life and were dancing at the boy's fingertips.
Before Akabane Higen could take the next step, the books that were originally spread out on the table suddenly closed, and then turned into a flash of lightning that flashed in front of his eyes and stuck to the wall farthest from the boy.
The dark red book was pressed tightly against the wall, leaving no gaps. As the boy looked at it with interest, a line of words slowly appeared above the book: "Who are you?"
Akabane Higen put away the flame with some regret, and held his chin with both hands, looking at the book that seemed to be welded to the wall, with an innocent and naive tone: "I am Akabane Higen, hello..."
"...Book."
That is a "book".
A "book" that already has its own consciousness.
It is what Fyodor wanted in the end.
But it appeared here, where Hirai Wataru had been, disguised as an ordinary and inconspicuous book.
As the boy finished the last word, the book seemed to fall into deep thought, and there was no other movement.
Akabane Higen was not in a hurry, he just smiled and looked at the book. Hmm, is this the thing that Fyodor has been thinking about? It looks so stupid.
Here, the "book" has already gone through the information belonging to Akabane Higen. It is very confused: "You are obviously an ordinary person, why do you have the power of law?"
Akabane Higen hid the smile in his eyes, and his tone was very confused: "What power of law?"
As if it was sure that the boy was not going to do anything to him, the "book" climbed down from the wall, slowly flew to Akabane Higen, circled around him several times, and asked him: "How do you know I'm here?"
"Secret."
The boy blinked cunningly.
The "book" was quiet for a few seconds, not paying attention to the boy's attitude, and continued to ask: "What do you wish for?"
The boy frowned: "I have many wishes, but you may not be able to do it."
Hearing this, the "book" patted the pages of the book in agreement: "Then what do you want to do?"
It did not feel any malice from Akabane Higen, but it was not all goodwill, and there were some complicated emotions mixed in.
"Of course..."
As the boy's last words fell, only the sound of the pages of the book rustling remained in the room.
If anyone else appeared here, they would be scared by the scene in the room.
The spacious room was filled with all kinds of words, so many that people with claustrophobia would faint on the spot.
If you look carefully, you will find that the meanings expressed by these words are almost the same.
"I am a book & ＊#@＊... I am a book!!!"
"... Are you sick ＊#@＆..."
"... No!!!"
"... Don't!!!"
"... You are so shameless, how can you do this!"
"... She looks like an innocent little white flower, how can you..."
